Shape graphics

Learn Shape graphics in ActionScript 3 with a construct-specific explanation, a unique example, a practical boundary, and a mastery check.

12 min read • Intermediate

Shape graphics is an atomic ActionScript 3 topic inside Display List. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.

Focus on what Shape graphics changes: the input, binding, control path, object state, collection, runtime effect, or language contract. Then alter one value and verify that the behavior changes for a reason specific to this feature.

Topic-specific example

actionscript-06-03-shape-graphics.as
actionscript Try It Live
import flash.display.Shape; var shape:Shape=new Shape(); shape.graphics.lineStyle(2,0x000000); shape.graphics.drawCircle(20,20,10);
Edge case / engineering note

Change the key input in this ActionScript 3 example and predict the result first; the named construct should be the reason the behavior changes.
